Garbage & Trash

Each household will receive one 95 gallon garbage collection container (referred to as a "cart").
Free of Charge
The carts are City property and are assigned to the household using an individual serial number that corresponds to
the address using a digital scanner. The cart is an industry standard grade container with wheels, a lid and a handle.
The cart can ONLY be used for garbage and can ONLY be emptied by an automated mechanism and are the ONLY containers
that can be used to place garbage at the curb. One additional container per household can be rented for a one time
fee of $60 or less, depending on market costs and inventory.

Collection Schedule by District

DPW Schedules will change only on weeks where holidays fall, and in the event of a severe natural weather
occurrence such as a snowstorm or hurricane, when services may be delayed or canceled. All sanitation items
must be placed at the curb by 6 am on your scheduled pick-up day. Please refer to your District for DPW pick-up
schedule.

Outsiders are not allowed to bring in trash from out of town. We pay hefty fees to dump our trash and ultimately we, the
taxpayers shoulder the expense of outside trash. If you see anyone bringing trash from out of town, we urge you to call
this department. All calls will be handled discretely and remain totally confidential.

If you are moving, you must call this department BEFORE PLACING any trash at the curb and if our schedule permits, we will
issue to you a special CONFIRMED trash pickup. – THIS SERVICE MAY CARRY A FEE.
